Videos tagged with Engaged in Business Rule

This video provides a detailed overview of the current status of several key ATF rules enacted during the Biden administration. It clarifies that the pistol brace rule has been vacated in Mach v. Bondi, but pre-existing federal definitions of short-barreled rifles still apply. The frame and receiver rule, upheld by the Supreme Court in Vandertock v. Bondi, remains in effect despite ongoing discussions about potential redrafting. The engaged in business rule is currently subject to litigation, with a lower court ruling against the ATF in Texas v. ATF, though the Department of Justice has appealed. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding these evolving regulations for lawful gun ownership.

This video provides an expert analysis of the current state of Second Amendment regulations, focusing on the ATF's inaction regarding the repeal of controversial Biden-era rules. It highlights Senator Eric Schmitt's formal demand for the repeal of the Frame and Receiver, Stabilizing Brace, and Engaged in Business rules, noting that despite a year passing since Donald Trump's executive order, these rules remain in effect. The content emphasizes the potential impact on law-abiding gun owners and critiques the administration's lack of progress.

The Department of Justice is restructuring its Civil Rights Division to create a new Second Amendment Rights Section. This division will theoretically monitor and address infringements on Second Amendment rights. The video discusses potential actions this new division could take, such as recalling the pistol brace rule, recalling the engaged in business rule, filing amicus briefs in assault weapon and magazine ban cases, and challenging pre-purchasing licensing requirements and firearm registration schemes.

This video discusses the nomination of Robert Sakata as the new ATF Director. Sakata, an ATF insider and current Deputy Director, is presented as a potentially fair-minded leader focused on returning the ATF to its law enforcement roots. The discussion touches on his past work with the NSSF on anti-straw purchasing initiatives and store security, as well as his reported support for repealing the pistol brace and engaged-in-business rules.

A federal judge in Alabama has struck down key provisions of the Biden-era ATF's 'engaged in business' rule for NRA members. This ruling, siding with the NRA and two Alabama collectors, prevents federal authorities from enforcing the rule against NRA members, finding the ATF exceeded its statutory authority. The decision mirrors previous victories for Gun Owners of America (GOA) and is seen as a significant win for gun rights advocates against bureaucratic overreach.

The video contrasts the actions of two Department of Justice (DOJ) officials regarding Second Amendment rights. Assistant Attorney General (AAG) Hermit Dylan is praised for actively defending these rights, particularly against assault weapon bans. Conversely, Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi is criticized for defending the Biden administration's 'Engaged in Business' rule, which is seen as restrictive to gun owners.

The ATF has indicated in a legal filing that they are preparing a new notice of proposed rulemaking concerning the 'engaged in business' rule. This announcement was made in a joint status report for the Florida v. ATF case. The specifics of this new proposed rule are currently unknown, but it is related to the subject matter of the previous 'engaged in business' rule.

This video discusses Gun Owners of America's (GOA) ongoing legal battles with the Trump administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) concerning three key issues: the recognition of Michigan concealed carry permits, the ATF's 'engaged in the business' rule, and the 'zero tolerance' policy for FFL revocations. GOA argues that while the Trump administration has made positive strides for gun owners, it is opposing progress on these fronts and failing to secure permanent protections, leaving them vulnerable to future administrations. The video highlights the need for permanent legal fixes rather than temporary administrative ones.

This video analyzes the Republican-proposed House appropriations bill for FY2026, detailing its potential impacts on firearm regulations and the ATF. Key provisions include reduced ATF funding, expedited NFA application processing, restrictions on ATF's actions regarding stabilizing braces, limitations on lawsuits against FFLs, cessation of federal funding for red flag laws, and changes to the definition of 'engaged in the business' for firearm dealers. The speaker, an instructor, provides commentary on these changes, highlighting potential benefits for gun owners and dealers.

The video discusses the establishment of a Second Amendment Taskforce within the Department of Justice, a move advocated for by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC). This taskforce aims to protect Second Amendment rights and address what are considered unconstitutional laws and policies at federal, state, and local levels. The discussion highlights FPC's proposals, including the creation of a dedicated official for pro-rights policy and a specialized section within the DOJ Civil Rights Division to litigate against unconstitutional state and local actions.

The video discusses the repeal of the ATF's zero-tolerance policy and the review of stabilizing brace regulations and the definition of 'engaged in the business' of firearm dealing. It highlights reactions from gun rights groups like Gun Owners of America and gun control groups like Giffords, framing the repeal as a victory for Second Amendment rights and a setback for gun control advocates.

This video discusses recent developments concerning the ATF and gun control measures. It highlights the removal of a zero-tolerance policy and the review of the pistol brace and engaged-in-business rules. The speaker expresses optimism about the undoing of gun control initiatives by the Biden administration.
